When Madden fell he was clear of
the track, the first car passing without
touching him, but in his struggle to get
uphe threw his left leg across the track,
the wheels passing over it and entire

TRADE TEcANSACTIONS.
Meeting of ti,c San Francisco Call
Board.

SAN Francisco, August 22.-The
call board was regularly opened for
business to-day. The call on barley
was fairly good, but a feeling of un,
certainty prevailed in wheat, and
1.35 was the only bid made for seller
'S7, which was offered at l.50. Not
single transaction took place, but the
brokers retired from the change salts
fed that the initiatory step had been
taken and the market bedrocked so
easily.

of Kentucky, the other leader and
representative of the Democratic
majority.
WORK OF THE 47TH CONGRESS.
The record of the Democracy now
in power, upon the repeal OF the in
ternal revenue system, shows that the
Democratic party which for ten years,
excepting the 47th Congress, con-
trolled the House of Representatives,
failed to act upon the subject, and
that it was by the 47th Congress Re-
publicans that the taxes were reduced
fully $50 ,000,0 900, the reductions on 10
bacco being from sixteen to eight
cents.
THE PROMISED REPEAL.
A promise of this repeal was made
in 1884 by several Democratic candi-
dates for Congress-, but the people
would not be deceived. 1t now re-
mains to be tested whether the same
hollow preteXt can be used now by
the Democrats with any more success
than attended them in 1884.

lJOOLEX DONE.
His Efforts to Escape Justice
Prove Ineffectual.


Tucson, A. t., August 22.-Edward
Dooly sent here from Nogales on a
charge of attempted murder and re-
sisting an officer, was released by the
court commissioner on writ of
habeas corpus on Saturday, on the
strength of making an oath that the
committing justice did not inform
him of his rights. He was rearrested
to-day on a charge of perjury, sworn
to by Deputy Sheriff Spody.
THE TROUBLE.
Dooley was in saloon at Nogales,
when observing a colored man looking
in at the window he fired three shots
at him with his revolver. To evade
arrest he escaped across the line.
The Mexican officers arrested him
and held him subject to official
demands from this side of the line,
Finding himself worse off in the Mex
lean jail than he would be in America
he sent for Spody to get him out,
promising to go over the line without
the trouble OF requisition papers.
RELEASED AND REARREsTED.
On this showing Governor Torres
ordered him to be released. The
Mexican officers started him across
the line, and when on this side Con-
stable Littlepage attempted to arrest
him, but he struck him. He was eX-
amined on both charges and COM
mitted. Notwithstanding the efforts
of said commissioner he still remains
in iail.

HE CAUGHT ON A sTULL.

He fell about six feet when he land
ed on stull, which he grasped and
chung to. Singular to relate, the can
die held in his hand was not extin-
guished. Fortunately the bucket
stopped its descent when he was
thrown out or it would have struck
him and knocked him from the stull.
He escaped with slight bruises. The
shaft is 400 feet deep, and had he not
caught on the stull he would have
had fall of about 200 feet.

EXPENSES BEING REDUCED.

Parker also says that the two rail-

the first of next year.

THE ST. LOUIS ENCAMPMENT.
Trouble Among the RaitrOads-
Cut Rates Predicted.

SAN Francisco, August Pc. II.
Coffin, of the Wabash. now in this
city from st. Louis, says that there is
likely to be serious trouble over the
rates made by the Eastern roads on
account of the Grand Army reunion
at st. Louis. The trouble is precipi-
tated by the failure of the Eastern and
Western associations to make uniform
rates. Some of the roads have made
round trip prices the same as single
ticket from the point of departure to
St. Louis. Others are making lower
rates, and by the time the procession
is ready to move there will be slashing
and cutting on all the lines.
THE WESTERN RATE.
From another source of information
it is learned that the Western States
Passenger Association a short time ago
decided to make a rate to the reunion
of the Grand Army OF IL cents per
mile.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-23
HALF A CENT LOWER.
The Central Traffic Association thel
cided to make a rate of l cent pc

The Central Traffic Association then
decided to make rate of l cent per
mile. The Wabash railway is men,
Der of both the Western States Pas
senger Association and the Central
Traffic Association, and when the mat
ter of the difference in rates was
brought to the attention of Receiver
McNulta, he came to the conclusion
that it would not be fair to
make - cent rate over one part of
his road and l cent rate over another
part, so he instructed General Passen-
ger Agent Snow to make rate OF l
cent per mile to the reunion over all
portions of the road.
EFFECT ON OTHER ROADS.
This will probably compel all the
Western roads to reduce their rates to
l cent per mile, and some OF them
may do still better.

KANSAS CORN CROP.
1t Is Said to be n Faiiure-Effcct
On the Railroads.

SAN Francisco, August 22.-F. f.
Parker, Secretary of the Town Site
Company of Kansas. City, and who is
visiting California said to-day that
the winter business prospects of the
Missouri Pacific and Atchison, Tope-
Fs and Santa Fe roads in Kansas
We're exceedingly poor on account of
the practical failure of the corn crop.
AN ILLUSTRATION.
He gives an instance showing to
what extent there will be falling
off in the crop this year. Me-
Pnerson, Kansas, has always been
one of the largest corn shipping
points on the Santa Fe road
and for several years seven million
bushels of corn have been hauled
away from that town. 1t was only to-
day that Mr.. Parker received letter
from brother living in Mcpherson in
which he says that not over one mil
lion bushels will be available for ship
ment in fall.

Mr.. Editor Among the most i'm
portant steps in progressive direction
taken by many of the States and conn
ties of the Union in the last few years
is the establishment of Prohibition
The necessity urged the people to ex-
pertinent, and exper .ment has demon
strated its value. Why need the parish
of st. Landry be deprived of the many
advantages to be derived from prohibit
ing the sale of liquor? The experience
Of other sections of the country has
shown that Whiskey is one of the most
expensive luxuries, all things consider
ed, that people can use.
1t is impossible in the space Of a few
lines or even few pages, to show the
evil consequences of its use and abuse
and it is equally as impossible to show
ia such space, the many advantages
to be derived from Prohibition"
Nevertheless the subject is one of i'm
portance, and one to which your hum
Bile writer shall from time to time refer
with the hope that our people may
awaken to an interest that 80 fully con-
Germs them and avert an evil that
threatens the happiness and prosperity
of our country. L.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, DO doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden OF home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with Green's august Floarer and
BOschee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirtysix cents per dozen. has
been added to increase the size Of the
bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one fifth more medicine
in the rs cent size.
The An0ust FiOucr for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Coug', ."2 L",@ : "'''tS.
have perhaps, the largest sale OF any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size Of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted, in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

TREATMENT OF BoILS.
Scientific American.

Halle recommends the following ap-
plication in furuncle: Tannic acid,
part; powdered gum acacia, 1 part !;
tincture Of arnica flowers, 2 parts:
This is to be painted over the boil and
for little distance around it., several
coats being applied until it forms a
thick and firm covering. Halle states
that this mode of treatment quickly re-
lieves the pain and diminishes the
swelling. When taken in time, the
boil disappears without the formation OF
pus; and when this already occurred,
the application causes the extrusiOn OF
the core and prompt healing of the
furuncle.

So far the administration people have
foupd nothing tangible against Gen.
Nichols, except they say he is not a
good party man; and the evidence
they give of it is that he supported Mr..
Carlton Hunt, Democrat, fortCopgress,
instead of Mr.. Louis St. Martin, anoth-
er Democrat. The New Orleans Chron-
icle is not Nichols paper, bat it dis
poses of the objection in very neat man
ner-She Chronicles article is published
in this paper. One Of our State papers
saws it was opposed to McEnery when
he was nominated for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and also when he was nominated
for Governor, and that it has never had
cause to regret its opposition: bat that
between Nichells and MeEnery, it is for
McEnery, for the sole reason that
Nichols is not a good Democrat, i'll
that he supported Hunt and net st.
Martin. If said paper was so opposed
to McEnery before he was tried, it GER
taiRly ought to be still more opposed to
I5m since he has been tried and found
wanting; but that accumulated opposl-
tion cannot al uount to much, when Nc
Emery is preferred to Nichols. WHAT
the State needs, is a change; govern
ment is bound to- become bad when one
set Of men run he machinery too long.
Rotation in office is healthy political
doctrine. There should be eonstItu-
tional provision t.hat no man should
hold Office twice in succession.
